When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:

PSU:
Chassis:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

Please list all the parts you've used to switch out and verify your motherboard isn't accepting them.

Are you trying to start it with 8th or 9th gen Intel core cpu in it?
Z170 chipset is compatible with 6th and 7th gen Intel core cpus only. 7th gen requires BIOS update.
8th and 9th gen cpus are not compatible.
